		County Durham is roughly bounded by the watershed of the Pennines in the west, the River Tees in the south, the North Sea in the east and the Rivers Tyne and Derwent in the north.
		It borders the counties of Cumberland, Northumberland, Westmorland and Yorkshire.

	Derwent Reservoir
		This water is around 30 years old, and is the result of the river Derwent being dammed.
		The river Derwent contained trout, sea trout, salmon, roach, dace, greyling, perch and probably pike.
		The reason I think it probably held some pike, is that the river Derwent is a part of the river Tyne system and this definitely had a good head of pike to over 20lb around the time that the Derwent was dammed.

		At Allensford if the river has a wave under the bridge then you are probably in luck, the next 100 yards after that are the some of the most difficult to get along if the river is low, so once past there you are home and dry.
		This river cannot be planned long term as it has to be caught in condition, we have enjoyed it most by phoning each other on the spur of the moment on a rainy afternoon and going out for a couple of hours play.
		This section of the river had quite a lot of debris from start to finish, mostly natural rubbish like branches and tree stumps, but also came across an old motorbike, a few push bikes and a number of road work signs.
